My Cool Ass Koolhaas Hat
I heart this hat! The pattern is awesome (and taught me how to cable without a cable needle), and the yarn is lovely. I used Colinette Iona, which is 70% wool, 15% mohair, and 15% silk. It's very squishy, and the color is stunning. I love uber rich colors. My only complaint was that the yarn's dye was not properly set, so I had blue hands every time I finished knitting for the night. I soaked the hat in vinegar and water, so hopefully it won't bleed on my forehead!
It matches my eyes almost perfectly, as you can see in this kinda creepy pic.
1 digame:
wow, that IS a super cool hat! What's the name of the pattern? (I like to pretend I can knit... though really theonly thing I've ever finished was one spectacularly ugly sock)
I've also been told that microwaving fabric for 2 minutes sets a lot of dyes. I'm not sure how any material other than muslin holds up to microwaving, though.... but it's worth mentioning in case the vinegar solution doesn't work out.
